Pat "Fucking" Green- One for the Road
Capo 1st fret
Verse 1:
DTree blows against my Awindow, there's a sBmtorm brewing in my hGeart,
Watching crDedits roll on a lAate night T.V. sDhow, 
Lonely street light pAeeking through the cBmracks in my window shGade,
After aDll that he's seen I woAnder if he truly kDnows, 
Did he watch her when she slaAmmed the door, like a hBmammer against the nGail, 
DLeaving me in wAhat's become a loGnely prAison cDell.
Chorus 1:
I thought alGways Dmeant fAorever,
I guess you coDuldn't play second fiGddle to my gAuitar, 
like an Bmold man drGinking down at the tEmavern, 
well I was oGne for the road and now you're hAeaded on back hDome.
Verse 2:
DI met you at a pAarty, seems like oBmnly yesterGday,
We were fDalling in love and liAving to chase our dDreams, 
I gave you flowers on VAalentines, and I Bmhad a strong feeling deep dGown insiDde, 
That someday we'd make a hAome and a fDamily, 
I'd say I'm sorry in a hAeartbeat if Bmyou would only lGet me,
I could lDearn to forgive if yAou only fDorget. 
In a hotel room down in AAustin aBmfter another one night sGhow, 
I caDught your silhouette cAreeping down the street, unGder a mAoonlight gDlow, 
and as you took my hAand, Bmso went all my pGain, 
we sDtepped right off the plAatform and caGught the mAidnight trDain.
Chorus 2:
And I guess Galways Dmeans forAever,
And I wDon't make you play second fiGddle to my guAitar,
Like an oBmld man dGrinking down at the tEmavern,
We're Gone for the road and we're hAeaded on back hDome,
Yeah oGne for the road and we're heAaded on back hDome,
GOne for the road and we're hAeaded on back hEmo--DmeG.A  D

Pat "Fucking" Green- One for the Road

Capo 1st fret

Verse 1:

D A Bm G

Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart,

D A D

Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,

A Bm G

Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade,

D A D

After all that he's seen I wonder if he truly knows,

A Bm G

Did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail,

D A G A D

Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell.

Chorus 1:

G D A

I thought always meant forever,

D G A

I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar,

Bm G Em

like an old man drinking down at the tavern,

G A D

well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home.

Verse 2:

D A Bm G

I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,

D A D

We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,

A Bm G D

I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside,

A D

That someday we'd make a home and a family,

A Bm G

I'd say I'm sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me,

D A D

I could learn to forgive if you only forget.

A Bm G

In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,

D A G A D

I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow,

A Bm G

and as you took my hand, so went all my pain,

D A G A D

we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train.

Chorus 2:

G D A

And I guess always means forever,

D G A

And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar,

Bm G Em

Like an old man drinking down at the tavern,

G A D

We're one for the road and we're headed on back home,

G A D

Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home,

G A Em D G A D

One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me.
